Show me a man or a woman alone and I'll show you a saint. Give me two and they'll fall in love. Give me three and they'll invent the charming thing we call 'society'.

love is what moves the world, I've always thought...it is the only thing which allows men and women to stand in a world where gravity always seems to want to pull them down...bring them low...and make them crawl...

Pain is the biggest power of love.
Paul LePage has become a terrible embarrassment to the state I live in and love. If he won't govern, he should resign.
